All they said was that it was around the same temperature as earth and had twice the gravity. There was no release about water. It might be a giant sea of sulfuric acid. Either you read into the article or the writer didn't report the facts. It's no "just" outside the solar system If you could travel as fast as the shuttle it would take you 800,000 years to get there
